ILLINOIS STOCK GROWER IS OPTIMISTIC ON PARK COUNTY AN INTERESTING INTERVIEW Stanley R. Pierce of Creston, 111., and a relative of Postmaster Frank O. i Thompson, whose guest Mr. Pierce is, is one of the most successful farmers and stockgrowers of central Illinois. Mr. Pierce has had a wide and var ied experience in the breeding of hlgn grade stock of all kinds especially Ab erdeen Angus cattle and Percherori horses. Mr. Pierce has been out over the county and niakds some very in teresting observations on what he has seen and the conclusions that may bo therefrom. He regards this as the country or all countries for stockgrowing and one where there are princely fortunes to be made by stockmen. Ho points out the necessity of the raising of even more stock, and of the increasing ot the dairy products, chickens, pork ana other kindred products. "Mr. Pierce now what do you think of our section as a place for the breed ing, raising and feeding of stock of all kinds?” asked the Herald. • Really I do not see how it could be any better. Your wonderful climate is the best 1 have ever seen, and the practically open range so cheapens the growing period of stock that it is the ideal country for stock purposes. Big fortunes can be made here now. though the old time conditions are changed. Why with your alfalfa, beets, peas, barley, wheat for wintering and for finishing I do not see but what you have everything excepting corn. You can then more than compete with us in Illinois with hay as high as sls to $22 per ton. and prstuarage at SO. per acre against your practically free range, we pay $6. per acre and morr vet make money. if vo make money under these con ditions, surely you can and should un der the prevailing conditions here. The breeding and raising of hogs should be a most certain and profitable source of wealth here. Barley Is tho best food for hogs and it is used whol ly in the old country and given really the best flavored pork. Now some people think thoy may be come wealthy from the stockgrowiug business on horseback. That day has gone forever. In place of our paying sfi. for hay or alfalfa, us you do. we pay S2O to $22 and yet in spite of the prices I have named, we make money. I was surprised, greatly so. to find so few cattle and horses. I hud expect ed to see cattle in droves of 1,000 or more and horses in bunches In kee»e lng. Horses, I have learned are very high here—as much so, as in Illinois. We make money at the prices which prevail there and they equal yours. The lack of dairy cattle h.ere im pressed me most profounly and u seemed strange that with such favor able conditions that more attention should be given to this vital portion of ranching. The high prices that prevail here for all sorts of produce, the small kind like poultry, fruits, vegetables, cou’ct be further reduced by increased pro Continued on page 4.
